AN ALLEGED swINDLER
Arrested at WiIIimantic, Connectic

Arrested at WiIIimantfc, Connecticut.
 A stranger put in an appearance few days ago at Willimantic, Conn.,, and took board at the Chaffee House. Friday he went to the Connecticut Home printing office and ordered 8 quantity of photograph cheeks printed, tell ing the bookkeeper that Townsend would pay for them. Townsend is local photog- rapher These checks called for special dis count on cabinets from $5 to $2.50 a dozen. At the bottom it read: "Pay agent 50 cents balance at studio" Suspicion pointed to him as being swindler and he was arrested by Officer Clark at Il o'clock Saturday night. Thomas O'Connell assisted in detecting the prisoner. The suspected swindler gave his name as Frank L. Brown, of Hartford, and claimed to be an insurance agent. It is ex- pected that people from the surrounding country will present these checks at Town sends studio and then something of the extent of his swindline operations can be learned. Brown is supposed to be 0. H. Smith, who has been swindling people at Warehouse Point and Wallingford by similar checks on Hartford photographer. Brown is held for trial for obtaining printing at the Home office under false pretenses, and it is thought that other charges, will be brought against him.

Two Coroner Cases In Bridgeport.

An investigation has been commenced by Coroner Holt in the case of the little girl Fanny Hardwick, in Bridgeport, who was fatally injured last Friday evening by being run over by horse car in East Washington avenue No witnesses were examined yes terday, but their statements will be taken and the examination probably completed to- day. The parents of the deceased girl pro- pose to sue the horse railroad company for damages, on the claim that the accident was due to culpable negligence on the part of the driver.
 The death of George Wilson, of Fairfield, from the fracture of the skull caused by his being thrown from his wagon on State street, Bridgeport, furnishes another case for the coroner. Charles France, who was Wilson's companion in the wagon, has been prosecut- ed in the City court and fined $10 and costs. It is now probable that France may be called upon to answer the charge of msnslaughter, this depending on the conclusion reached by the coroner as to Frances responsibility for the casualty. The funeral of Wilson, whose body is now at the morgue, will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon, from the Congrega- tional church at Greenfield Hill. He was 68 years of age and unmarried.

Stayner to Caleb D. Gildersleeve, of the city of New York, on the Loomis mansion, which now stands in Elizabeth's name. The considera- tion named in the deed was $15, ,O0O, which was stated to have been "received to the full satisfaction of said Elizabeth and for her benefit and the benefit of her separate estate" from the grantee. The mortgage was found ed on a note for $15, ,000, payable to Glider sleeve or order on demand with interest at 4 per cent The deed also contained cove nant on the part of the grantors that the property was free from all encumbrance.
 The attachment placed on the mansion a fortnight or so ago to secure the claim of the carpenter who repaired it was released shortly after it was put on.

The household effects of Partner Stayner have been coming at short intervals and in small lots ever since the ar rival of the first installment.

STATE oORREsPONDENCE.
Oxford.

OXFORD, Sept. 12.-Seven teachers of our public schools were examined here last week by our board of school visitors and were ac- cepted and four were conditioned on physi- ology and hygiene. One of the board vigor- ously protested against bis peers examining parties as to their knowledge of book not yet published. It is requiring considerable of teacher that he shall be conversant with physiology to tell pupil something about alcohol and it's effects on the human system; about its cost and the badness occasioned by it's use as beverage. Out of the seven teachers two had had to do with our State Normal school. All gave promise of being good teachers. Indeed, all had already taught successfully. They all were re exam ined. The one teaching longest seemed the best qualified to teach. One of them would not engage to teach but one term. She should not have been engaged ahead if anoth- CT could have been procured for the full school year. Another meeting of our school board this week on Thursday, the 18th inst, at the Town hall.

THE NATIONAL CAME.

What the Base Ball Players Are The New Works have bought the release o1 G. Hatfield, of the Portlands, to play third base
 Bob Petit, formerly of the Waterburys, is making record with the Chicsgos which he may we'll be proud of. He heads the batting list of that team. The first game he played he caught. Since then he has been guard ing right field, in place of Van Haltren, who was weak in that position. In the game Saturday morning of the Chicagos against the Indianapolis team, Petit made two hts, one home run. In the afternoon he kept up his marvellous batting record. He made two hits again-one two bagger, the other for three bases.
 Roger Connor, of the New York team, has made more home runs than any other league player. He is also well up in the triples and two baggers.
 In the New York Lowell game on Friday, in which the New Works were beaten, "Dickie'' Burns made two hits, one of which was a phantom and the other a two bagger. He got in his customary stolen base. In the field he did not have a chance.
 The western papers inform us that Chief Roseman's voice was about the best feature of the Mets playing while the club was in the West on it's last trip. Out of the twelve games played the Nets won one.
 The Boston Courier thinks the St. Louis Browns would finish in the front were they in the league. The Courier also predicted the sama fate for the Boston club just after the transfer of Kelly from Chicago to Boston.
 Radbourne intends to make test case out of his recent suspension without pay. The Brotherhood of Base Ball Players will take it up and let the courts decide whether team has the right to take the bread and butter out of a players mouth in this way. This will give Lawyers John Ward and James O'Rourke a chance to see what they can do.
 Everything is not serene in the Chicago club There are several serious dissensions. Clarkson does not care whether Chicago wins the pennant. The other day he be- came angered at remark Anson made, and told "Anse" that if he said another word to him he would throw the ball down and leave the field. The rupture between Anson and Pfeffer occurred in New York, when the lat ter was fined $125. Pfetfer and Williamson say they will not play another season under Anson. These are the real causes why Chi cago has made such poor show in the last week or two.
 Staltz, who was Waterbury's best pitcher, has proven useless to the Wilkesbarres.
 Pitcher Keefe of the New Works is one of the coolest men in the profession. He sell dom, if ever, gets rattled, no matter how hard his pitching may be pounded.
 Undoubtedly this will be the last year of the Eastern league. The only remaining standby-club, the Waterbury team, want to enter the New England league next season.
 Jimmy Donoh 1e of the Nets recently had brother killed while playing in a game of ball. He had stopped to catch the bali and at the same instant collided with the base runner.

 The hearing on the contested will of Mrs. Hannah R. Munson began before Judge Rob ertson in the Probate court yesterday morn- ing. Attorney Hull appeared for his side of the case and Hon. S. A. York, George A. Dickerman and Walter Pond appeared against the will. Union s. Stone, who was in the room in 1885 when Mrs. Munson signed the will, testified that she said that she left her property in that way so that her husband could not use it up. He considered her in good mental condition. Stone is 8 son-in law of Whitney o. Munson. A. A. Allen and s. L. Ford, who were witnesses to the will, tes- tified that the will was not read to her in full at the time it was signed. The old lady was helped into sitting position, and one of the Munsons, the witness could not remember which one, began to read the will, but some one stopped him and explained the contents of the document to the old lady, who then signed it. The hearing was adjourned until Thursday morning, when evidence will be taken on Mrs. Munson's mental condition.

It was tempest-in-a-teapot sort of a case, and the evidence was so contradictory, except as to showing that the young men had incurred their landlady's displeasure, that they were discharged by Judge Pickett on the breach of the peace charge.
